The Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has sought immediate action against five clinics in Kalwakurthy of Nagarkurnool district for allegedly practising modern medicine without the required MBBS qualifications and valid medical registration.

In a letter addressed to the District Registering Authority (DRA), Nagarkurnool, the Council has requested intervention against the clinics following surprise inspections conducted on November 7 and the registration of FIRs at the Kalwakurthy police station.

The five establishments identified by the Council are K.S. Swamy Clinic, Dr. BVK Life Care Poly Clinic, Sri Laxmi Clinic, Praneeth Clinic and Sri Vijaya Clinic.

TGMC has urged the DRA to initiate appropriate action under the applicable laws, including seizure or restraint of the premises, to prevent unauthorised medical practice. It has also sought a compliance report from the district authorities detailing the action taken against the establishments.

The Council stated that practising modern medicine without recognised medical qualifications and valid registration was a serious violation of medical regulations and posed a risk to public health and patient safety.
